Git repository for Qtopia

(Cross-posted at http://qtopia.net/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=593&forum=1 and on the OpenMoko device owners list).

In order to make it easier to track updates to the Qtopia 4.3.1 snapshots, I made a git repository out of them.

What I'm doing is, automatically (every night), untarring the snapshots into a git repository at git://git.asheesh.org/qtopia_snapshot.git , which is readable in a gitweb at http://git.asheesh.org/?p=qtopia_snapshot.git .

Note that many snapshots contain the same contents; the automatic script only commits if the snapshots contains some new data.

My current primary interest in the Qtopia GPL edition is for my HTC Universal, which runs it very nicely including sleep and wake-up, SMS, and voice calls. My interest in the git repositories lies from wanting to publish a modified version of Qtopia that's easy to merge changes into as Trolltech updates their code. I'm sure there are Neo1973 users who would like to hack on the Trolltech code or have an easy source repository from which to get updates.

http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Qtopia is where I'll be posting any is where I'll be posting any updates I have. If you're working on a fork of Qtopia, I'd love to give out git commit access so you can publish a branch on my git if you like.

Similarly, if people want to publish their Qtopia-based applications in a git repository, just ask me!
